  • Aesthetic Impact: The beautiful reactive glaze makes every single piece feel one-of-a-kind.
  • Stacking Space: Its unique, irregular shape means it won't stack as tightly as standard platters.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Truffle, a bustling bistro in the heart of Bristol's old town, decided their tableware needed to match the quality of their locally-sourced menu. They replaced their standard white plates with the Olympia Kiln range to create a more memorable guest experience.

"We were looking for something with personality. Our food is crafted with care, and  these platters reflect that. They feel substantial, look fantastic, and  our customers constantly comment on them. The presentation has gone to a whole new level."

Robert Finch – Owner & Head Chef

Since introducing the new tableware, the bistro has noticed a significant uptick in customer photos of their food being shared on Instagram, effectively boosting their organic marketing reach.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack your platters carefully, checking each one for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
  • Seasoning is not required – they are ready to use straight after washing.

Keeping It Going

  • These platters are tough, but avoid using abrasive metal scourers which can scratch the glaze over time.
  • Stack with care. Interleaving with plate protectors can help preserve the hand-painted rims if stored for long periods.
  • The vitrified body is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb flavours or odours.
  • The lifetime edge-chip warranty gives you confidence, but regular checks are always good practice in a busy kitchen.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits your vibe? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the best tableware for your business.

Material Matters

Porcelain, like that used in the Kiln range, is fired at high temperatures, making it non-porous, strong, and  great for busy environments. It's a solid choice for durability.

Consider Your Cuisine

Let your food guide your choice. Rustic, earthy tableware like this smoke grey platter is perfect for hearty, wholesome dishes, gastropub fare, and  colourful plates that need a contrasting background.

Look for Durability

In a commercial setting, breakages are costly. Look for features like 'vitrified' and  an 'edge-chip warranty' – these are signs of a product built to last.

Match Your Ambience

Your tableware is a key part of your brand's look and  feel. Choose colours, shapes, and  textures that complement your decor and  the atmosphere you want to create.

Think Practicality

Consider the practicalities for your staff. Are the plates a manageable weight? Are they easy to clean? Dishwasher and  microwave safety are huge time-savers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will every platter look exactly the same?

A: No, and  that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze means each platter will have slight, unique variations in its pattern and  smoky grey tones, giving them an authentic, handcrafted feel.

Q: Is the glaze and  material food safe?

A: Absolutely. The platter is made from fully vitrified, lead-free porcelain, making it completely hygienic and  safe for serving all types of food.

Q: Can these platters go in a hot commercial oven?

A: They are microwave safe for reheating, but we don't recommend using them for cooking in a conventional high-temperature commercial oven.

Q: What does 'vitrified' actually mean?

A: Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, extra strong, and  resistant to chips and  cracks. It's the gold standard for professional tableware.

Q: How does the lifetime edge-chip warranty work?

A: It covers chipping on the rim of the platter that occurs during normal food service, storage, and  washing, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in its durability.

Q: How heavy are they to carry?

A: A box of 4 weighs 2.95kg, so each platter is around 740g. They have a satisfying, substantial feel without being too heavy for serving staff to carry comfortably.

Q: Will the colour fade after many dishwasher cycles?

A: No, the colour is part of the fired glaze. These are designed for commercial dishwashers and  will retain their deep smoke grey colour.

Q: Is the shape difficult to serve food on?

A: Not at all. The gentle curve and  flat surface of this 295mm ceramic platter make it very easy to plate and  present food beautifully.

What Customers Are Saying

Ben Carter – Restaurant Manager, Leeds

"A fantastic commercial ceramic serving platter. We use them for our fish of the day and  they frame the dish perfectly. Durable and  they come out of the commercial dishwasher looking brand new."

More Than a Glaze: The Secret to a Unique Finish

Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s a special finishing process that makes each piece of crockery unique. During firing in the kiln, different minerals in the glaze react to the intense heat, creating subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in colour and  pattern. Think of it like the unique grain in a piece of wood – no two are ever exactly the same.

This means that while your whole set of Olympia HC376 serving dish platters will share the same beautiful smoke grey colour palette, each one will have its own individual character. It's how you get that authentic, 'hand-finished' look without the inconsistencies of true handmade pottery, ensuring your presentation is always unique but reliably high-quality.
